I enjoyed the breakfast. It had fresh products, including croissants. They also had hot dishes, such as omelets. The environment was clean and pleasant. The hotel is located near a walking area with cafes.
The rooms were tiny. This was a disadvantage. I heard my neighbors in the next room. I could hear sounds from the hallway, including doors SLAMMING.

The breakfast buffet was AMAZING!!! It had a huge variety, so everyone could find something they liked. The hotel is VERY close to the Llacuna Metro station. Made it easy to get to major sites. We found many restaurants and eateries right next to the Rambla del Poblenou.
The room felt a little small. There wasn't a lot of space for all our luggage.

early check-inbreakfast selectionwide gap
the guest services staff was topnotch. they understood my long flight and let me check in early. the free breakfast included many selections and great food. staff also stored my luggage after i checked out so i could explore the area freely.
i found that the doors had wide gaps. this allowed noise from guests outside and next door to easily enter with loud music playing.

The room was bright and very clean. A kettle, safe, and mini empty fridge were useful additions to the room (very practical). The shower was GREAT. I found Dove soap dispensers and a hairdryer in the bathroom. Ample lighting was also available.
The breakfast menu was ALWAYS the same.
